Genesis 16:6 in Context — Genesis 16
4 Il alla vers Agar, et elle devint enceinte. Quand elle se vit enceinte, elle regarda sa maîtresse avec mépris.
5 Et Saraï dit à Abram: L’outrage qui m’est fait retombe sur toi. J’ai mis ma servante dans ton sein; et, quand elle a vu qu’elle était enceinte, elle m’a regardée avec mépris. Que l’Éternel soit juge entre moi et toi!
6 Abram répondit à Saraï: Voici, ta servante est en ton pouvoir, agis à son égard comme tu le trouveras bon. Alors Saraï la maltraita; et Agar s’enfuit loin d’elle.
7 L’ange de l’Éternel la trouva près d’une source d’eau dans le désert, près de la source qui est sur le chemin de Schur.
8 Il dit: Agar, servante de Saraï, d’où viens-tu, et où vas-tu? Elle répondit: Je fuis loin de Saraï, ma maîtresse.
